Clear answers before treatment
Questions patients ask first
Everything you should know before deciding whether Stellar M22 treatment is right for you.
A single device from Lumenis that combines four treatment technologies, light-based and laser, to treat a wide range of skin concerns without surgery.
It depends on the concern and how established it is. Some people see a visible difference after one session, while others need a short course. Your consultant confirms this at your assessment.
Most people describe gentle warmth or a light snapping sensation. A cooling gel is used throughout to keep it comfortable.
The M22's different technologies are suited to different skin tones. Your consultant confirms the right approach for you at consultation.
The CO2 laser resurfaces skin directly and suits deeper concerns like established acne scarring, with more downtime. The M22 uses light and gentler laser energy for concerns including pigmentation, redness, veins, hair and tattoos, with little to no downtime.
It depends on the concern and area treated. Prices start from the figures shown against each concern above. Your consultant confirms the exact cost for your treatment plan at consultation.
